  • According to stock market experts, it's good news for Exide Industries promoters as they have managed to crack a deal with HDFC Life Insurance Company, where they will get both cash and equity from HDFC Life

Exide Industries share price today shot up to the tune of 14 per cent after the company's communication with Indian exchanges in regard to 100 per cent divestment in its insurance subsidiary Exide Life Insurance. According to stock market experts, it's good news for Exide Industries promoters as they have managed to crack a deal with HDFC Life Insurance Company, where they will get both cash and equity from HDFC Life. This will help Exide Industries to launch its most awaited lithium battery and hence the stock is expected to remain bullish from short-term to long-term.

Speaking on the reason for Exide Industries' share price rise; Avinash Gorakshkar, Head of Research at Profitmart Securities said, "HDFC Life Insurance is going to acquire Exide Life Insurance, a subsidiary of Exide Industries. In this deal, Exide Industries will not only get ₹726 crore cash but their promoters will also be given 8,70,22,222 HDFC Life shares at an issue price of ₹685 per equity share. The company will be able to use this cash for reducing its debt and launching a much-awaited lithium battery. Apart from this, HDFC Life shares allotted to Exide Industries promoters will increase the investment value in the company's financials. So, Exide Industries shares are expected to remain bullish from short-term to long-term."


Avinash Gorakshkar of Profitmart Securities said that Exide-HDFC Life deal is positive for both companies as Exide is getting both cash and shares from HDFC Life while HDFC Life will get the clientele of Exide Life Insurance for its future business.


Advising Exide Industries share holders to hold the counter for further gains; Mudit Goel, Senior Research Analyst at SMC Global Securities said, "One needs to avoid fresh buying at current levels but those who hold the counter should maintain their position with trailing stop loss at ₹184 per equity share. The stock may soon go up to ₹207." He said that once the stock manages to break this ₹207 hurdle, it will become highly bullish and then fresh buying can be initiated.

Exide Industries management informed about its 100 per cent equity sale in Exide Insurance to the Indian exchanges. The BSE informed about the communication citing, "This is to inform that Board of Directors of Exide Industries Limited (Company) at its meeting held today, has considered and subject to the approval of its shareholders, approved the divestment of the Company's entire equity shareholding in Exide Life Insurance Company Limited, a material wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, by way of sale to HDFC Life Insurance Company Limited."

9/11

  9/11’s Immigration Legacy By  JULIETA MARTINELLI , ALEJANDRA SALAZAR and  VICTORIA ESTRADA   SEP 10, 2021   HISTORY   IMMIGRATION   NEWS   PODCASTS   POLITICS September 11, 2001 was a paradigm shift. It is considered the deadliest terrorist attack in world history: nearly 3,000 people died and thousands more sustained lifelong injuries, depression, and PTSD. After the World Trade Center fell, a traumatized nation lived in terror of another attack, and amid the chaos, the United States set out to prioritize national safety above all. The 24-hour news cycle of the attacks focused endlessly on the identity of the terrorists: non-citizens who had been able to exploit “vulnerabilities” in the immigration system. In the eyes of the United States, “national safety” required an urgent revamp of the system—and the public agreed. People were willing to grant full control to government agencies under the guise that they’d keep Americans...

  Cryptocurrencies Bitcoin Falls to Lowest in Month as El Salvador Rollout Falters Bitcoin plunged as much as 17% to its lowest level in a month as El Salvador’s crypto rollout appeared to be faltering.  The largest cryptocurrency fell as low as $43,050 in New York Tuesday, tumbling more than 10% in the course of an hour, before recouping about half the losses. The Bloomberg Galaxy Crypto Index, which tracks some of the largest digital tokens, lost as much as 19% at one point.  “Mystery selloffs, or selloffs where a legitimate reason is only found a significant while later are much more common in crypto than in other asset classes,” said Stephane Ouellette, chief executive and co-founder of FRNT Financial. “The market remains far more opaque and global than most if not all other notable asset classes.” The swiftness of the plunge was likely accelerated as more than 336,000 traders had their accounts liquidated over the past 24 hours, equal to around $3.6 billion worth of ...
